The patch starts with an ethnic Bulbul Tarang (aka Indian Banjo) playing a tremolo texture - the filter opens and a supersaw and sine osc is added on top. The Bulbul Tarang is mixed out with the synths and a solo Cor Anglais (aka English Horn) takes over the mix.

The demo ends with all the Cor Anglais, Bulbul Tarang, Supersaw and Sine waves all mixed together - and slop is added for detuning and retuning."

Official Prophet X and XL Mapping Utility Overview Published on Dec 17, 2018 8dioproductions

"Link: https://8dio.com/instrument-category/...

The Prophet X and Prophet XL provide two fully independent, stereo sample based instruments per voice (up to 4 in Stack/Split mode). Samples can be manipulated through various onboard modulation, sample stretching, in-depth loop controls, tone shaping, a vast array on board effects and of course a true stereo analog low-pass filter.

With the free 8Dio Mapping Utility you are now able to import your very own samples into the Prophet X or XL.

While 8Dio continues to offer an ever-growing range of Official Add-On Packs, the Mapping Utility is a great way for you to incorporate older recordings into this modern classic.

The workflow has been designed so that you can directly import, assign, adjust mapping and label your own sample-sets, ready for loading in to your Prophet X or XL."

Regarding how much space you have to work with, via Sequential:

"150 GB of factory-installed 16-bit, 48 kHz sampled instruments created by 8Dio. An additional 50 GB of samples can be added by purchasing additional sound libraries. User-sample import is planned for December, 2018."
